Commission to engage the public in the ocean plan development effort and to set
high expectations for the plan. Chaired by Sue Tierney, former Environmental
Affairs Secretary and past chair of the <a

planning process, as put forth by EEA, including public outreach, the schedule,
and next steps. Public outreach is slated to begin in earnest in September
through a variety of mechanisms, including public meetings, EEA’s
website, media, and more. Commissioners were asked to assist with the outreach
effort by spreading the word to their constituencies. The Commission also
agreed on an approximate schedule through the remainder of 2008, with a
Commission workshop to provide an overview of ocean planning scheduled for
October, followed by a Commission meeting in November. In addition, agency work
groups have been collecting and analyzing available data for use in the
planning effort. This work will help set the table for the Science Advisory
Committee, which will meet in early September. To receive periodic updates as

Two: Making Storm-Resilient Communities a Reality in <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place

to Daniella. In Phase Two, CZM will work directly with selected coastal
communities to implement StormSmart Coasts floodplain management tools, use
this experience to help successfully transfer these tools throughout the
remainder of the coastline, and develop a national model for storm-resilient
community implementation. Daniella received her master’s in environmental
management from <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Duke</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType

<p class=CZ-MailParagraph><span class=CZ-MailItem><b><i><font size=2
face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>Eel Pond Channel Temporary Closure</span></font></i></b></span>
- The demolition of the Water Street Bridge in Woods Hole will require the
closure of Eel Pond Channel to all vessel traffic for six days in
September—from 7:00 a.m. on September 15 until 5:00 p.m. on September 20.
Vessels will not be able to enter or depart Eel Pond during this period. The
waterway will then be open to vessel traffic until the new bridge is put in
place sometime in the spring of 2009. Mariners should monitor Marine Safety
Information Broadcasts on VHF-FM channel 22 for the latest safety related
navigation information. For questions regarding this closure, contact
Lieutenant John Suckow at <a href="mailto:john.p.suckow@uscg.mil">john.p.suckow@uscg.mil</a>.<o:p></o:p></p>
